As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States.
We ran everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges. Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking.
If we wanted something, we just took it. If anyone complained twice they got hit so bad, believe me, they never complained again.
They even shot Tommy in the face so his mother couldn't give him an open coffin at the funeral.
